  • Product Description
    GE Healthcare, 3.0T Signa MR750 (Marketing Name: GE Discovery MR750) || Product Usage: The GE Sigma MR750 System is a whole body magnetic resonance scanner designed to support high resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio images in short exam times. It is indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device to produce axial, sagittal, coronal, and oblique anatomical images, spectroscopic images, parametric maps, and/or dynamic images of the structures and organs of the entire body, including, but not limited to head, neck, TMJ, spine, breast, heart, abdomen, pelvis, joints, prostate, blood vessels, and musculoskeletal regions of the body. The images produced by the GE Sigma MR750 reflect the spatial distribution or molecular environment of nuclei exhibiting magnetic resonance. These images and spectra, when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis.
